When I needed a Savannah attorney to assist me in removing the court appointed conservator for my elderly aunt, I did not know where to turn. However, when I contacted an attorney friend in a large prestigious law firm in Atlanta asking for a reference, without hesitation they recommended Janice Powell. At our first meeting, I was impressed by her legal knowledge and experience. Her compassion for both my aunt and me was obvious. Ms Powell worked diligently to see that both my aunt and her property were protected. A new conservator was appointed and the former one required to to compensate my aunt for any loss or expense to her estate. Ms. Powell's dedication to her client was evident, even when she was criticized for bringing legal proceedings against this well-known conservator, who was also an attorney. Her ability to make the case before the Judge was outstanding. Ms. Powell has represented my family and me in other legal issues since this case. . We have been pleased to work with an attorney who is professional, has a sharp legal mind, and a caring heart. I would highly recommend her legal practice to anyone, especially those needing Probate or Family Law services. She has proven herself time and again to be an excellent attorney and an admirable individual.

"I have never met another attorney who advocates as zealously as Janice does for her clients. Regardless of whether you agree with her position, she goes to bat for her clients, which I admire. She is knowledgeable about the law and brutally honest about the facts. I proudly endorse her as a fellow attorney!"
